Baking cookies is usually a relaxing activity, a way to de-stress after a long day. For me, it turned into a serendipitous financial breakthrough. I was elbow-deep in flour and chocolate chips, perfecting my cookie recipe, when I received an email from my mortgage broker.
Distracted by the sweet aroma of freshly baked cookies, I absentmindedly clicked on the email. To my surprise, it contained a mortgage rate that was exactly what I had been hoping for. I had been searching high and low for a decent rate, and there it was, like a little nugget of financial gold hidden among my cookie dough.
It was as if the universe had conspired to deliver me this sweet deal while I was baking. The cookies may have been delicious, but the real treat was the mortgage rate that came with them. Since then, I’m convinced that baking cookies should be part of every major financial decision. Who knew that a batch of chocolate chip cookies could lead to such a lucrative outcome?
